Vacation

 I´m going on a vacation, am going to Sotkamo. My father has House and Summer Cabin there. Cabin is situated by the small lake and that´s where I´m gonna stay. Nearest neighbour is 1km away (as crow flies). In between there´s a thick forrest. So I´ll be pretty much alone in the Nature for next 2 weeks. From 24.7 to 5.8.2023 I´ll be offline but I shall return. The Cabin looks like so.

Turning around I see this.

With any luck I´ll be watching this in the evenings.

Happy Holidays to all readers! 😎

 The Weekend in Black n´ White

Loma

Tällä viikolla Saturday Classic; Litku Klementti - Juna Kainuuseen. Kaksi koronakesää ja viime kesän työt estivät perinteisen mökkireissun. Nyt pääsen - ja lähden - lomalle Sotkamoon faijan tykö. Olen pois blogista 24.7-5.8.2023. Latailen akkuja ja palaan virkeämpänä taas läppärin ääreen.

Faija asuu 10km päässä Litkun faijasta (eli samalla kylällä sikäläisittäin). Mökki on 2 hehtaarin pikku lammen rannalla, ainoa mökki. Aivan mahtava luonnon rauha. Viimex polttelin rapulla tupakkaa aamuyöllä ja ihmettelin että nyt on jotain outoa. Sitten tajusin ettei kuulu mitään. Aivan tyyni joten lehdet ei pitäny ääntä. Järvikin oli tyyni eli ei edes vedenliplatusta kuulunut. Linnutkin oli hiljaa, kai ne nukkui. Aika outo kokemus näin kaupunkilaiselle. Oletko ikinä "kuullut" täydellistä hiljaisuutta?

  

Nyt helvetin iso pato murtuu
Ja kaikki jotka horjuu, ne hukkuu
Jos et usko rakkauteen etkä edes Jeesukseen
Niin voit minun puolestani lähteä vaikka Lahteen

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

The Beatles cover by The Jeff Healey Band

Kaverilla oli hyvin omintakeinen soittotapa joka kuulostaa jumalaiselta.

Hän oli sokea joka - luonnollisesti - toi soittamiseen lisää vaikeuskerrointa.

Nyt jo edesmennyt mutta musiikkinsa elää ikuisesti.

A Messenger from Heaven

I was making Coffee when I heard bird singing close to me. I took a look-see to my balcony and there it was sitting on balcony-rail. I grabbed my Camera and too a Photo. And then it was gone. Just wondering what it sang to me. Hope it wasn´t anything important, didn´t get half of it. 🙂 But it was special occasion, never seen a bird on my balcony. And I´ve been living here since 2005.

June 2023

Was the most popular month in this blogs short history with 5514 pageviews. Normal month is around 1K to 2K. Recently I´ve had plenty of visitors from Singapore. Don´t know why that is. Maybe I visited some blog from there and people found me that way. Well, who knows.

Pickpocket´s Paradice

Kapinalliset Funkkarit

Tällä viikolla Saturday Classic; 🤟 Rage Against The Machine - Renegades Of Funk. 🤟

Joidenkin lehtitietojen mukaan Sanna Marinin suosikkibändi. Kantaa ottavaa rokkia vasemmalta.

Tykkii settii, asiallista räimettä. 

Since the Pre-historic ages and the days of ancient Greece
Right down through the Middle Ages
Planet Earth kept going through changes

And then the Renaissance came and times continued to change
Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades

Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine
Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X
They were renegades of their time and age
So many renegades

Iso Valkoinen Biisoni

Saturday Classic-valintana tällä viikolla Ted Nugent - Great White Buffalo

Loistava biisi. Mahtavat kitarariffit ja asiasanoitus. Inkkareiden puolella Länkkäreitä vastaan, ihan kuin itsekin. Altavastaajien puolella on helpompi olla ilmeisesti. 

Sittemmin mies on - mitä ilmeisemmin - menettänyt järkensä. On NRA;n (National Rifle Association);in puheenjohtajistossa. Tää porukka on siis se asehullujen oma etujärjestö. Politiikan puolella hän on anti-Obama Pro-Trump miehiä.

Mutta ei kai siinä, nauttikaa biisistä. Se on edelleen pirun hyvä vaikka mies onkin mennyt pilalle.

The Indian needed food
He needed skins for a roof
But he only took what they needed, baby
Millions of buffalo were the proof
Yeah, its all right

But then came the white man
With his thick and empty head
He couldn't see past the billfold
He wanted all the buffalo dead
It was sad
